Manchester City will aim to build on their recent 2-0 victory over Leicester City as they welcome West Ham to the Etihad Stadium.
Despite a tough season so far, they will be looking to make the most of their home advantage. City has a strong record at home, especially against West Ham, having won 14 of their last 15 Premier League home matches against them.
West Ham, on the other hand, will be desperate to recover from their humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
Sitting 13th in the table, the Hammers need a strong performance to regain some confidence. However, with key attacking players like Antonio and Bowen sidelined, it may prove difficult for them to pose a serious threat.
